"<br /><br />Good question. What a waste of money. Suing everyone to object to your friend not getting a raise - on some hyper-technicality. I didn't consent to my tax dollars being spent on either the prosecution or the defense of this BS case. We didn't vote these guys a blank checkbook with our funds.<br /><br />Mel is effective and active, but his loyalties to certain others tend to bring him down. This seems much more like it was about friends and enemies, that any real concern over salary process. And go figure, the County Attorney ended up having a better understanding of law - what a shocker.

It's as if they get sworn in to be dumb, promise not to research anything, not to ask questions, not to be smart, but instead to shut up, do as they are told, ask no meaningful questions, never do research, never bring laws into the discussion and absolutely always do as the county attorney says. In fact, i dunno why the Mayor doesn't just have the county attorney be the planning commission, oh almost forgot, he does, the Mayor appointed the planning director, the head of the commission, and it's the old deputy county attorney. naturally, the commissioners need not think, just do as they are told. <br /> SOLD OUTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-13558737019451250982011-12-29T09:19:45.455-10:002011-12-29T09:19:45.455-10:00From personal experience with Mamaclay, thought he...From personal experience with Mamaclay, thought he was a man with a conscience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42356211952581246612011-12-29T09:18:30.390-10:002011-12-29T09:18:30.390-10:00Yes.
